crashes JVM
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSERVER-1196?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12612274#action_12612274 ]
Emmanuel Lecharny commented on DIRSERVER-1196:
----------------------------------------------
Ok, there is an infinite loop in the parseSubstring() method of the FilterParser class.
Will be fixed soon.

> Environment: Windows running under jboss
> Reporter: Steve hammond

> the following command
> FilterParser.parse("(memberOf=1.2.840.113556.1.4.1301=$#@&*()==,2.5.4.11=local,2.5.4.11=users,2.5.4.11=readimanager)");
> will put the filter parser apparently into an infinite loop until the JVM crashes.
> aparently it is the () in the middle. LDAPStudio does not allow that in the filter, neither does ldapsearch.
> So maybe just a check for parenthesis somewhere in the parse and a throw? Are those the only 2 characters that a value cannot have?
